"KFC's famous chicken and southern-style sides don't leave much room in your stomach for something sweet, which is why some diners may have no idea the chicken chain offered desserts. But for those who have been visiting for decades, two of KFC's sweets are downright iconic: The chocolate chip cookie and Little Bucket parfaits, both of which are discontinued KFC menu items we'll probably never see again."
"KFC's chocolate chip cookie was available to order until 2023. When we ranked fast food desserts from worst to best, we found the cookies to be decent if not remarkable, but some customers truly loved them - one Reddit user wrote that they "Never forgave [KFC] for taking them away." Fans of these dearly departed sweets have been left asking why did they have to leave?"
KFC offered Little Bucket parfaits and a chocolate chip cookie as dessert menu items. The Little Bucket parfaits featured a graham cracker crust, layers of flavored filling, and whipped cream, available in Chocolate Creme, Strawberry Shortcake, and Lemon Creme flavors, and were sold through the 1970s and 1980s. KFC removed the parfaits from the menu in 2012. The chocolate chip cookie remained available until 2023. Many customers expressed strong nostalgia and frustration after the items were discontinued, including Reddit users and petitioners. Possible reasons for discontinuation include an ended contract with Sara Lee, the desserts' perishability, and operational or cost challenges.
